Cricket Wireless adds Nokia 3606 clamshell

Cricket Wireless has recently added a new low-end 3G phone to its offering. It’s the clamshell-shaped Nokia 3606, which aside from boasting a 3G radio also comes with the built-in music player, Bluetooth connectivity, and a battery that provides enough power to keep you talking for up to 3.5 hours — alternatively the same battery powers the device for up to 10 days in standby mode. Size wise, we’re talking about a thin device, which measures just 90×47.5×15.3 mm (3.5×1.9×0.6 inches) and is therefore easy to carry around.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Why is this phone almost as much as a I phone and nearly twice the cost of the samsung jetset that has 2.5 mp camera , camcorder , twice the battery life , biger scream , 3g support , and more features , touch sceen , tilt sensor and so on. I just liked the fm radio in this one but it other wise looks like a crappy phone with a dinky battery life and all reviews call it a very basic phone. So why is amoung the most expensive cricket non smart phones ?

    I have been wondering the same thing ever since I got mine for a Mother’s Day present! There are much better phones out there that seem to cost way less! The features are not even all that great and I have not found many websites (that are not commercial) that have any additional info on them either.
